I was planning on makeing a frag rack but have a couple questions about the magnets needed.

How strong of a magnet do i need for a 1/4 - 3/8 gl*****

Where can i get magnets that have some kind of cover so i can put them in the SW?

I just used some cheap algae magnet cleaners from petsmart/petco, egg crate and super glue. I do like the ones gabes have as they look much cleaner. But I'm cheap.

I made them using the cubed epoxy-covered neodymium magnets available here:

a pair of the 12mm cubed ones was enough, but I did 3 just in case.
